As much as I enjoy discussing rebreather mods with @rjack321, you cannot disregard his advice for all matters of diving in the PNW. It doesn't matter if diplomats used his tone would start WWIII, you can get often get something useful from him for matters like is being discussed in this thread.

I actually agree that having an AED onboard is a good idea so I will consider it.....

Beyond that, I'm sticking with my plan to have 80cf of available 100% O2 on my boat, along with multiple deployment options that include both on deck and in water options... Thanks again for all the opinions, options and advice..... Sincerely appreciated.. Cheers.

Very old tread and I waded through most of it and can't remember anyone mentioning the "oxygen window" benefit when using oxygen at greater than 1ata.....hanging oxygen at 20 fsw is not for IWR it is for decompression on oxygen to lessen the probability of bubble formation via an "oxygen window"... strictly a means of enhancing a safety stop while diving within the NDL to lower the chance of silent or symptomatic bubbles through a change in gas tensions in tissues and circulatory system while breathing 100% oxygen under pressure...sure oxygen kit topside for treatment is common sense, but prevention with oxygen at 1.6ata makes a lot of sense....oh, all ascents are decompression events even within the NDL.
